What internet content label do you think should be the standard and promoted as such?

Despite how commonsensical (that's a word right?) a V-Chip may seem IMHO here's a few reasons why you just might as well take a deep breath and move on.

Some of you are old enough to remember just how long it took to get the V-Chip into hardware. It or some version of it was bandied about FOREVER (at least a decade). Hardware is made for an international market now. Imagine a government calling for an inclusion of the ability to have a V-Chip also block political material. Software solutions are always preferred to hardware ones. They're also quicker to implement. The biggest reason though is because everything wants to be smaller now. There is no room that any manuf. wants to give up to the space of a v-chip on their boards. They will fight it to their last dying breathe.
